SuitabookGreat Call of China
Cynthea Liu
- Reading
- Before reading, discuss what Cece may hope to learn and how travel can feel unfamiliar; afterwards, compare her expectations with what she experiences and whether her questions are resolved.
- Themes
- Adoption and belonging: Cece travels to China partly to explore her roots and find out about her birth parents. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Cultural adjustment: Cece arrives in Xi’an and experiences culture shock despite being Chinese-born. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Connection and support: Cece meets Will on the plane, connects with him during the programme and may rely on him while adjusting. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Pay attention to how the story handles Cece’s adoption, her response to cultural unfamiliarity, the search for birth parents and her connection with Will; the ending remains unclear.
